Accessibility Assessment – CreativeIndiaJourney.com

1. Purpose
This assessment evaluates the accessibility of CreativeIndiaJourney.com for users with disabilities, ensuring compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, and identifying areas for improvement to enhance usability and inclusivity.

2. General Findings

  • Navigation:

    • Main menu is present on all pages and consistent.

    • Keyboard navigation is partially supported; some dropdown menus are not fully operable via keyboard.

    • Skip-to-content links are missing, which can hinder screen reader users.

  • Content Structure:

    • Headings (H1-H3) are generally used correctly for page hierarchy.

    • Some headings are missing descriptive text, which may confuse screen readers.

    • Lists and tables are properly formatted in most pages but some image captions lack proper semantic markup.

  • Text & Color Contrast:

    • Body text meets recommended contrast ratio (4.5:1) against the background.

    • Some button text overlays on images do not meet minimum contrast, reducing readability.

    • Text resizing is partially functional; content remains readable up to 200% zoom.

  • Images & Media:

    • Images generally include alt text, though some decorative images use empty alt attributes, which is acceptable.

    • Hero banners and destination images should include descriptive alt text for screen readers.

    • Video content lacks captions or transcripts, limiting accessibility for hearing-impaired users.

  • Forms & Input Fields:

    • Contact and booking forms are present with labels, but label association could be improved for screen readers.

    • Error messages are present but not always programmatically associated with the input field.

    • No ARIA roles or live regions are used for dynamic updates.

  • Links & Buttons:

    • All links are keyboard accessible.

    • Some link text is generic (“Click Here”) instead of descriptive (“Book the Golden Triangle Tour”), reducing clarity for screen readers.

    • Buttons are mostly styled consistently, but hover/focus states are not always visually distinct.

  • Responsive & Mobile Accessibility:

    • The site is responsive; layout adapts to different screen sizes.

    • Some menus and carousels require fine motor precision, which may challenge users with mobility impairments.

    • Tap targets for buttons and links meet minimum size guidelines in most areas.

  • ARIA & Semantic HTML:

    • Limited use of ARIA roles.

    • Semantic HTML is used for headings, paragraphs, lists, and links but could be improved for forms, landmarks, and navigation elements.

3. Recommendations

Navigation:

  • Add skip-to-content links at the top of each page.

  • Ensure all dropdown menus are keyboard-operable.

  • Use clear, descriptive link texts.

Images & Media:

  • Include descriptive alt text for all key images.

  • Add captions and transcripts for all videos.

  • Ensure decorative images are hidden from screen readers.

Forms:

  • Associate all form labels programmatically with input fields.

  • Link error messages to corresponding fields using ARIA attributes.

  • Use ARIA roles for dynamic form elements.

Text & Contrast:

  • Adjust contrast for text over images to meet 4.5:1 ratio.

  • Ensure all hover and focus states are visually distinct.

Mobile Accessibility:

  • Increase size and spacing of tap targets where needed.

  • Ensure swipeable carousels are accessible via keyboard and screen reader.

ARIA & Semantic HTML:

  • Implement ARIA landmarks for main, navigation, and footer regions.

  • Use semantic headings and region tags consistently for all sections.

4. Compliance Summary

  • WCAG 2.1 Level AA: Partially compliant.

  • Strengths: Semantic headings, readable text, responsive design.

  • Areas to Improve: Keyboard navigation, form labeling, video captions, ARIA landmarks, link/button descriptions, contrast issues.

5. Conclusion
CreativeIndiaJourney.com is functional for most users, but several accessibility gaps exist that may impact users with visual, auditory, or motor disabilities. Implementing the above recommendations will improve inclusivity, meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards, and enhance usability for international clients.
